UNsALTED BUTTER.
1t is q sound rule, that every thing
should 60 to market as soon as it is
ready to ship. This rule applies with
particular force to such u perishable
article as butter. It can be kept, but
it requires some latitude of language
to even can such butter sweet. 10
make it keep longer than thirty days,
it must have u liberal allowance of
salt to nelltralize the effects of the but
ternilk that cannot always be gotten
out The French and English markets
for the highest grades of butter, re-
su1re that no salt whatever be put in it.
The best markets of this country are
tending in the same direction. The
higher the price paidfor the butter, the
less salt will be tolerated in it. Such
butter is very hard to make, and must
be marketed and should be eaten within
four or five days from the churn. The
compensation for this haste and extra
labor is that more of it is consumed.
and the price is generally much above
that of the highest market quotations.
We have heretofore described the pro-
cess ofmaking granular butter This
is simply butter which IS chilled in the
churnwhen it is in the mustard-seed
or wheat grain condition, before it has
gathered into largermasses. The but
terniilk is, drawn off and cold water, or
even ice water added. Then it is
| washed with cold water, removed from
| the churn to a barrel or stone jar with
! out ;mashing the grains, and the vessel
is then filled up with strong brine.
Before shipping, the first brine should
! be changed, as it will dissolve con-
| sid cradle casein and look turbid, and a
| second brine will probably remain clear.
! While in the brine. the butter must be
| covered by circular piece Of wood,
nearly fitting the barrel, or by plate
/ if in a~stone jar, and weighted so that
it will betkept submerged. Such but
! ter will keep for weeks, and when re-
! moved from the brine and rinsed well
with water, becomes virtually ''sweet
butter,' and is easily worked into rolls
! or prints to suit the market If worked
without washing out the brine, the
the very slight flavor of salt is to ou1
taste: an improvement. -.
THE MUD DISEASE.

WILDE continually subject to muddy
limbs. If not attended to the insight
illness, ends in scratches, which otter

cure. Many otherwise good farmer!
seem to be: all at sea as to the proper
means OF preventing the attack, as wei
as the cure Common scratches are
simply the result of want of proper care
and cleaning, and may readily be cured
by a>wash Of strong CASTLE soap-suds
followed with a poultice, one-fourtf

ounce of salt After this application
wash the limbs twice a day with a weak
solution of salt and vinegar. ri.
/ M,however, the disease has run into
grease a mild cathartic should be giver
as an Alternative, for there is generally
more or less liability to blood poisoning
in this form of the disease. The cathar.
tic may. consist of five drachms aloes
and 'ones drachm each of gentian and

ball with soap or sirup and administer
